Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, we describe a novel microwave oscillator incorporating a CPW‐based split‐ring resonator (SRR) as a resonant component of the circuit. The high quality (Q) factor and spurious‐free SRR contribute to phase noise reduction as well as the harmonic tuning of the oscillator circuit in a very small chip area. The fabricated 5.5‐GHz oscillator showed an output power of 2.774 dBm with a 2nd‐harmonic suppression of −43.04 dB and phase noise of −100.8 dBc/Hz at 100‐kHz offset. The proposed oscillator is believed to be the first application of a metamaterial to the performance enhancement of a microwave active device. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
